Frac sand mining creates significant air pollution from the handling, mining, and processing of the sand. The important sources of air emissions come from the tiny dust particles – known as particulate matter – scattered during mining and processing.
Clearing vegetation and soil erosion during mining operations can result in habitat destruction, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem disruption. The removal of vegetation can also contribute to increased runoff and soil degradation.

The "social" impact of sand-mining operations, including their impact on land use and property values, can be a sensitive topic. Personal preference and opinion tend to dominate the discussion, in contrast to the technical facts and scientific data used to describe mining's impacts on the environment, economy, and roads.
Some environmental activist groups and community organizers contend silica sand mining presents significant threats to human health and the environment. Scientific evidence …
Some residents in industrial-sand mining areas express environmental concerns, such as the potential impact of sand mining on air and water quality; economic concerns, whether sand mining is a net benefit to mining communities and the state as a whole; and social concerns, how sand mining is affecting the quality of life in affected communities.
The mining, transport, processing, and use of silica sand in the fracking process for natural gas create the air pollutants PM 2.5 and respirable crystalline silica. Respirable …
